THE MAYOR:
We've worked hard many years
To make men out of you, to build towers to the sky and
We've broken many gears
We've done it all for you, we've done it all for you
And all I want
Is for you
To give us trust
And see this through
REPORTER 1:
Will the fog ever lift?
THE MAYOR:
In time
REPORTER 2:
Is the money changing hands?
THE MAYOR:
In time
REPORTER 3:
The streets are on fire!
THE MAYOR:
Don't look
You don't look
My promises to you
I promise I will take your hunger away
I promise I will bring it back
I promise I will take you children away
I promise I will bring them back
We've seen hard times, we've seen hard crimes
We've tasted blood, now close you eyes
All I want is for you
To give us trust and see this through
People raise your hands and sing praises to the land
People raise your hands and sing praise to the land
Yes!
THE CITIZENS:
No!
THE MAYOR:
We will build a wall!
Yes!
THE CITIZENS:
No!

Yes!
THE CITIZENS:

THE MAYOR:
And it will never fall!
Yes!
THE CITIZENS:
No!
THE MAYOR:
And you will never die!

LEADER OF THE COBRAS:
Don't think you can come down to our neighborhood
Don't think you can come down to our neighborhood
You think you own it all
THE WHOLE GANG:
Don't think you can come down to our neighborhood!
LEADER OF THE COBRAS:
Don't think you can come down to our neighborhood
Don't think you can come down to our neighborhood
You think you own it all
We've got the will
We've got the guns
And we will do
What must be done
But you think you own it all

STREET RACER:
Listen here kid, I will never carry you
Face it down now, fight what you are afraid to do
Never fear kid, eyes up to the power lines
Or you will blow out and then close a thousand eyes
Listen when I'm speaking
I'll teach you how to race
That's when you burn it
That how you fake it
I know it seems cruel
But they will never forget you
Although your hands shake
I've seen your heart, your heart is true
Now exhaust fills the sky
Fuck what you heard, I know this is do or die
That's when you burn it
That how you fake it
The engine turns it
The ground will scrape it
Wind hits the car, flipped
Blaze when the spark lit
What the crowd will never see
Rolled into the darkness

Green Light Tower

BYSTANDER TO THE FALL OF THE GREEN LIGHT TOWER:
The light covered everything
The light powered itself
It was perfect
It was perfect
They built other towers
They built other towers
To catch the glow
They are killing it
Now this tower dies
It's coming down
The light covered everything
The light powered itself
It was perfect
It was perfect
They built other towers
They built other towers
To catch the glow
They are killing it
As it comes down
As it comes down
Destroys everything
Destroys everything
As it comes down
As it rains down
Destroys everything
What have we done
If you see see the light and I still the light
It's broken, it will never be as ever bright

MEMBER OF THE EAGLES:
This is a warning to the streets, we run this
Call to all arms, take aim, don't miss
Kiss every last lover because we take them away
We grow in the night and we study the day
Where can you hide and where will you run?
How will you see when we destroy the sun?
All bills move through us, all product
Meet the new bosses, the balance is fucked
LEADER OF THE EAGLES:
If there's a new product, then we're the new source
Drop a condo on your house like a motherfuckin' stork
Take your girl, move her near the Royal Fork
By the porno booths where we like to hold court
Snakeskin boots, we roll in troops
With a clubhouse like a chicken coop, here's the truth
Anything you see belongs to we
If it's under our wingspan it's in the plan
The plan is to expand on any plot of land
And demand our inheritance to community chest
We are the coins you flip aside to get my divine right at an amenable price
Hope you had a quite hospitable life
It's about to get tougher, better stay undercover
See us on the street and I suggest you burn rubber, bounce like flubber
You should really listen because eagle power's enough to bring back prohibition, yeah we'll ruin your condition
Handle liaisons, build the power plant with smokestacks like grey bongs
You don't wanna mess with big bird, yeah I heard
You're saying that we're preying on the neighbourhood you stay in
But we're really just taking the apple from you cavemen
Concerned with snake plan, get locked outta Eden
Even if you pay it, it don't mean that we're even
Stay in formation no matter the season
Low to the ground for despicable reasons
Slithering creatures should be held out for treason
Jesus, I hope that they're leaving
MEMBER OF THE EAGLES:
So now we reach and wrap our hands around what you hold loosely
And when we shake the towers down we map new borders clearly
We are recruiting, are you with us or against us?
So now take your gun and menace everyone
LEADER OF THE EAGLES:
Birds of a feather, yeah we do that thing
We take wing and run from the weather
We fly in rings as corporate kings
We're a gang but we stick together
Consider this a tete-a-tete
My set is dead set on wrecking your credibility and promoting your flying ability
Forced relocation is my actual passion
I got snakes on a plane like Samuel Jackson
Done with casual actions, you're in my sights
Life's like hell when you see the wing swell
And you realize your city isn't what it was once
Too much venom, poison love buzz
Wracked with pain, it's all from the way that you act
Watch me turn this display into whacking day, back away
You don't wanna see me and my crew in front of your watering hole, we'll bother your soul
Check me out, don't test, this is my nest
This is the official eagle anthem, flying on an airport you're scared report, see?
You listen, we see you shedding in the distance
What it do? What happened to that boy?
MEMBER OF THE EAGLES:
So now we reach and wrap our hands around what you hold loosely
And when we shake the towers down we map new borders clearly
We are recruiting, are you with us or against us?
So now take your gun and menace everyone
